List of Arceuthobium species

Recently the number of species within the "Arceuthobium" has been reduced from 42 to 26 cite journal | last = Nickrent | first = D.L. | coauthors = M.A. García, M.P. Martín, R.L. Mathiasen | year = 2004 | title = A phylogeny of all species of "Arceuthobium" (Viscaceae) using nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences | journal = American Journal of Botany | volume = 91 | pages = 125–138 | doi = 10.3732/ajb.91.1.125] . The structure of the subgenera and sections follows Nickrent "et al" (2004) who resolved the phylogeny of the genus using nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and chloroplast trnT-L-F sequences.

Much of the work in "Arceuthobium" systematics was undertaken and compiled by Hawksworth and Wienscite book | last=Hawksworth | first=F.G. | coauthors= D. Wiens | year=1995 | title=Dwarf mistletoe: biology, pathology, and systematics | publisher=USDA Forest Service]
